Brain stimulation for word-finding problems after TBI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can help people with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) find words more easily. It involves sessions at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You speak and read English fluently.
- You had a traumatic brain injury (not from military service) at least one year ago.
- You have trouble finding the right words when speaking.
- You can travel to the study center in Boston and be alone for 8+ hours.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can improve word-retrieval problems after a mild or moderate concussion-like brain injury. It may help if testing shows trouble finding the right words when speaking.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help improve symptoms after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). If you've had a TBI at least two years ago, this could help you.
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
This study tests if a wearable brain stimulation device (tDCS) combined with computer-based training can improve attention and concentration in older veterans with a history of mild brain injury. It involves several sessions from home using a headset and computer.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the stimulation remotely, from home, for about an hour a day.
This study tests whether early brain stimulation can help recovery after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). It might help improve thinking and awareness in patients who can already speak and follow directions.
